„It‘s not about matching traditional models with
existing tools anymore;
It‘s about developing a brand-new
pedagogical model and implementing the
Next generation Web environment upon it.“

„Edupunk is an approach to teaching and
learning practices that result from a do it
yourself (DIY) attitude. Many instructional
applications can be described as DIY
education or Edupunk. It describes inventive
teaching and inventive learning“

EduPunk definition (Stephen Downes, 2008):
• - As a reaction against the commercialization
of learning
• - To symbolize the do-it-yourself of
educational technology
• - Thinking for yourself instead of being told what
to think and learning for yourself instead of
being told what to learn
